If you're ready to fly the Google skies, the search giant is
hiring test pilots for its two big drone initiatives, as revealed
in a pair of new job postings, as noticed earlier by
IDG News.

If you
want to take the helm at Project Wing, Google's drone package
delivery service, you have to be "an expert RC pilot who
will act as chief test pilot that will help the team execute
flight tests on custom UAS platforms."

Under Federal Aviation Administration guidelines, drones
like Project Wing that fly under a certain altitude need a
human pilot, even though Google could probably have it fly
itself.

Not only will you get to be the remote pilot of the drone,
says the listing, but you'll get to fly the "chase aircraft" that
will follow it around and take measurements.

Meanwhile, Titan Aerospace is a little more
science-fictional: Bought by Google in 2014, it makes the Solara,
a solar-powered drone that flies well above the zone where you'd
need a human pilot.
